How to Repair a Double Pane Window | Ask This Old House · 12:38 · Video: This Old House · Watch at the source

In short: When a double pane window cracks, you lose both aesthetics and energy efficiency. This video follows general contractor Tom Silva as he works with a glass specialist to repair the damage and visits a manufacturer to see how replacement glass is made.

The repair process begins by removing the window sash and laying it on a flat surface. Beyond the technical steps, the video provides context on the manufacturing of replacement glass and estimates the cost of the repair at around $75, though this figure excludes the price of the replacement pane itself.
